During the mission, an uncrewed Orion capsule spent 10 days in a distant retrograde 60,000 kilometers (37,000 mi) orbit around the Moon before returning to Earth. [10] Artemis II, the first crewed mission of the program, will launch four astronauts in 2025 [11] on a free-return flyby of the Moon at a distance of 8,900 kilometers (5,500 mi). [12 ...
In the future, NASA wants to implement this technology to create fully autonomous systems, which can then be used for space exploration. In this case, cognitive systems will serve as the basis, and the autonomous system will completely decide on the course of action of the mission, even during unforeseen situations. [47]
Spaceflight in 2025 promises to follow the 2020s trend of record breaking orbital launches (with at least 300 expected) and increased developments in lunar, Mars and low-earth orbit exploration. ESA plans to conduct an orbital test flight of the Space Rider uncrewed spaceplane in the third quarter of the year. [1]
The Summary. NASA's next Artemis mission, which will send four astronauts around the moon, is delayed until 2026, the agency announced. The delay also pushes back the expected timeline of a ...
This is a timeline of known spaceflights, both crewed and uncrewed, sorted chronologically by launch date. Due to its large size, the timeline has been split into smaller articles, one for each year since 1951. There is a separate list for all flights that occurred before 1951.
"NASA stated cost increases, delays to the launch date, and the risks of future cost growth as the reasons to stand down on the mission." NASA announced they would consider "expressions of interest" from industry to use the "VIPER rover system at no cost to the government". In October 2024, VIPER passed all pre-launch tests.

[77] [78] Notably, the SLS core stage for Artemis II was the last to be fully built at the Michoud Assembly Facility: future missions starting with Artemis III will have the core stage partly built after arriving at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida, managed by Exploration Ground Systems, which was deemed to be more efficient by program ...
